Luggage Sets

Luggage sets are recommended for frequent travellers and families or couples. They consist of different sized pieces and offer a lot of possibilities for use. You have the choice between a hardside luggage set and a softside luggage set. While the former is usually made of polycarbonate or polypropylene, softside luggage is made of synthetic materials such as nylon or polyester. Hardside suitcase sets offer maximum stability and are better suited for transporting sensitive contents. The biggest advantage of fabric suitcases is their stretchability so that they can take one or two extra items if necessary. Textile luggage sets with wheels are normally much lighter than hardside luggage sets of the same size. Some brands offer a good compromise in the form of hybrid luggage sets. The suitcases typically have plastic reinforcement on the back and corners, while the rest of the body is made of fabric. Regardless of materials, many sets are equipped with a TSA combination lock: it is essential for every trip to the USA. Airport officials can open this security lock with a master key.

Modern sets usually include the so-called trolleys – suitcases with a telescopic handle and two or four wheels. Luggage sets with wheels impress with their manoeuvrability and easy handling. Most luggage sets consist of two to five pieces: cabin luggage is usually always included. A 2 piece luggage set in a classic design consists of carry-on luggage and check-in baggage. A 3 piece luggage set allows more variations: typically it contains two suitcases in different sizes and a beauty case or a toiletry bag. The option with a beauty case is among popular luggage sets for women; a suitcase set with a toiletry bag is universal. A 3 piece luggage set consisting of carry-on luggage, a middle suitcase and an XXL case for the yearly vacation is also a classic. Some brands offer travel sets consisting of a trolley, a backpack and an on-board bag. For a luggage set of 4, the following combinations are common: three suitcases of different sizes plus a flight bag or two suitcases – small and large – plus an on-board bag and a toiletry bag. The composition of four suitcases in different sizes and a beauty case is typical for a 5 piece luggage set. The luggage set with a beauty case is normally made of rigid plastics. Alternatively, there are variants with three trolleys, one travel bag and one travel backpack.
